Avant Garb: Debbie Reynolds Collection – The Hollywood Auction – A Photo Story

DR-Marilyn-7 The infamous Marilyn Monroe dress worn in 'The Seven Year Itch' – 1955. It went for $4.6 million at auction.

I had such an amazing time at the Debbie Reynolds auction preview, and I'm still sad that this phenomenal collection is no longer together – le sigh. If the video (see the below post) didn't quite satiate your curiosity I have put together the pictures of some of my favourites plus a little more detail. I apologise for the quality – the website stated no camera, so I came ill prepared and the battery on my SLR ran out  – so most of these were taken with my phone!

Enjoy.

    I am a museum Director (small…mainly decorative arts… in Santa Monica) and would love to do a temporary fashion exhibition (perhaps of past and present films). Any ideas? How would I get in touch with the people who bought items from the Debbie Reynolds Collection. Who are the big collectors of film fashion? This is new research.
    I wonder if there is any interest?
    It would be fun to include a “Runway” show to go along with the exhibition? I can be reached at calmuseum@earthlink.net
